Solution
Construction Procedure:
1. Let's draw a line segment AB = 4 cm .
2. With A and B as centres, draw two arcs on the line segment AB and note the point as D and E.
3. With D and E as centres, draw the arcs that cut the previous arc respectively that form an angle of 60∘ each.
4. Now, draw the lines from A and B that are extended to meet each other at the point C.
5. Therefore, ABC is the required triangle.
